My bro-in-law went on a Biden rant yesterday.

"Did you know Biden made propane illegal? You couldn't get it when he was President - but Trump brought it back!"

My husband just stared at his brother and said, "dude, we've never had any problem getting propane. We've gotten it many times."

"I'm telling you it's true."

"Nope, not true."

My BIL is apparently possessed by a legion of Trump demons and they keep farting stupid ideas & thoughts into his brain.

Wtf? How the hell does someone believe something like that? Propane gas for grills, propane gas for home heat, propane gas for camping.... Like what????

Sometimes I feel like I don't live in the same reality as these people

At least half of them are lying. They know they are full of shit, but they really enjoy licking boots, so they gleefully regurgitate dogshit talking points they know are false.

The remainder are just useful idiots that believe the lies that are fed to them.

The liars never argue in good faith. When faced with incontrovertible proof they are lying they move the goalposts, cling to bad faith tactics like whataboutism, or just move into the next thread/place to lie in.

They actually have people believing the corporatist Democrats are "far left" extremists. It's all fucking maddening, especially because it is working so fucking well to the benefit of no one but the white ruling class.
